Like many other table games, Hilo Switch from Netent sees you playing against the banker, and it offers up a very nicely designed and entertaining option to play. The idea behind playing Hilo Switch is to basically predict whether or not the next card in the series will be higher or lower than the one in front of you. It’s actually a very simple card game to play, but you also have the possibility of switching cards as well. More on how to play the game a little bit later on in the review. As far as the game in general is concerned, it’s all been imbued with Netent’s usual range of high quality graphics, while the classy type of music that the developer usually inserts into these table games is also present. It’s also a part of the provider’s Professional Series of games, meaning that it’s been designed up to the highest possible standard.

Blackjack Single Deck
Blackjack, which is also known as twenty-one, is considered to be the most widely played casino banking game in the world. This could be to do with its simplicity, with the game requiring you to simply compare your cards with that of the dealer’s. And while there are many variations of the game around, this offering from Netent only offers up the possibility to play a single hand per round. So, if you prefer to have access to a simpler version of Blackjack, this one could quite potentially be the game for you. It has had the developer’s usual high quality range of graphics instilled in it, while a classy piece of music accompanies your game play as well. If you’re already a fan of playing blackjack games, then you’ll already know the basics behind doing so, and this game takes on the regularly utilised rules of game play.
Blackjack
We know that there are several different variations of blackjack available to play online, but when it comes down to it, there’s perhaps nothing better that we enjoy doing than going through a few rounds of the standard, classic version of the game. That’s why we’re such big fans of the Netent offering, which provides a well-designed and easy-to-play version to gamers. Of course, the general rules and aim of the game are the same as any other blackjack game – you need to try and form a total of as close to 21 as possible with the cards you’re dealt, and these cards will be compared to the hand dealt out to the dealer. This version of blackjack allows you to play up to three hands at the same time and you’re also able to see the history of the dealer’s last 10 hands.
Roulette
As most avid roulette players will know, this game has been offered in casinos since the 18th century and game to prominence in France. In fact, the name of the game translates to ‘little wheel’, and the earliest known form of the game still played today is from 1796 in Paris. And, of course, like many other table games, roulette has been introduced in various different formats, including European and American. However, this offering from Netent is a little bit alternative, providing a unique enough layout and game play. You’ll also find that the regularly used classy casino music has also been integrated into it, giving it a bit more of a professional and appealing feel to it.
Double Exposure Blackjack Pro
If you’re looking for a game that offers a variation on the regular blackjack option, then perhaps you might like to try the Double Exposure choice presented to you by Netent. It’s a part of the Professional Series of games that the developer has worked on, so it’s been designed with only the best in game play and graphics on display. Most of the features of this version of blackjack are the same as the classic version, but the dealer is given two cards dealt face up at the beginning of the game, whereas in the regular offering of the game, the dealer is given one face down and one face up. Of course, this provides a bit of an easier variation on the game to the standard option, and because of this, the pay out for a natural blackjack has been reduced. However, if you think that this could be the next table game for you, then read on to find out more.
Red Dog Progressive
Some of you may not be familiar with the game of Red Dog, which is also known as Red Dog Poker or Yablon. It is considered to be a variation of acey-deucy or in-between, and is played with the standard 52-card deck. As a game, it was originally played in the United States during the 1800s, and at this time, it was known as the previously mentioned In-Between. It wasn’t immensely popular in the first instance due to the fact that the liberal rules made it fairly easy for players to cheat, and as such, other card games like regular poker were liked much more. It would be in 1931 that the game was re-introduced to land-based casinos, with new rules and the new name of Red Dog Poker, and from then on, it became a popular gambling game. It is usually played on a blackjack table, and the basic objective of it is to wager on which cards are dealt, whilst hoping that a third card will be dealt with a value in between that of the first two. Simple, right? Because of the simplicity behind it, its popularity has declined in land-based establishments over the years, although it still holds a place in many online casinos, which is why NetEnt have also crafted their own offering of it.
Pontoon Pro Series
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the game of Pontoon, allow us to enlighten you on it a little. It is commonly known as a variation of the popular Blackjack game, although it often uses the terms of ‘Twist’ and ‘Stick’, rather than the regularly seen ‘Hit’ and ‘Stand’. It’s often referred to as the British or domestic version of Blackjack, which in turn is the American version of Vingt-et-un, the French game of 21 popular in the court of Louis XV. It would go on to become the most popular game of the armed forces of English-speaking nations during the 20th century, and unlike Blackjack, it has no official rules, varying to vast degrees from school to school. Of course, the NetEnt offering of this game does have its own specific rules, although the layout of the table and everything alongside it is very much the same as NetEnt’s blackjack offering. Of course, the idea of Pontoon is to reach the card value of 21 without exceeding it, otherwise this is considered a ‘bust’ and therefore losing hand.
Oasis Poker Pro
NetEnt provide many a table game, although some of them aren’t so easy to understand just from reading the title. Oasis Poker, for example, is one of them, and you don’t really get an idea of what it’s all about just by reading what it’s called. However, Oasis Poker is considered a variation of Caribbean Stud Poker, with the rules of such being exactly the same just about. However, the only major difference is that players are able to exchange cards before the raise or fold decision is made – although this kind of move does cost you as well. It’s quite a popular game in Eastern European and Northern African land-based casinos, and has started making waves in the online casino world in more recent years. The game itself is played against the house, so you won’t be competing against anyone else other than the dealer, and overall, it can provide quite an entertaining product on the whole.
Casino Hold’Em Table
If you haven’t ever been privy to playing Casino Hold’em Poker before, allow us to give you a little insight into its introduction to the casino gaming world. It was first welcomed along by Stephen Au-Yeung in the year of 2000 as the first Texas Hold’Em Poker game to be played against the casino, rather than against other players. It grew over the proceeding years and is today played in multiple casinos throughout the world. Essentially, it is a straight contest between the player’s hand, which is you, against the dealer’s hand. Au-Yeung actually devised the game in the late 90s, and at the time, he was using it to assist in the training of his partner at the time to play Texas Hold’Em Poker. It was following this training that it was developed into the House game it is known as today, and its first appearances were noted in Egypt, Russia and South Africa. However, it’s not only land-based casinos which have taken to offering it, as many online platforms are now also providing it as a gaming option to players. As such, NetEnt crafted their own online table game dedicated to the product, which comes in its own form of uniqueness.
